An oyster can’t produce a pearl without first suffering

from a grain of sand…

In PEARLS OF WISDOM, New York Times bestselling authors Jack Canfield, Marci Shimoff, Chris Attwood, and Janet Bray Attwood along with today’s brightest stars in transformational leadership, offer 30 inspirational ideas for turning your own grains of sand into brilliant pearls.

Providing a wealth of practical wisdom and advice, each of the 30 authors share a meaningful idea that can be acted upon immediately – each designed to remove the blocks that interfere with living your best life now.

Lisa Merrai Labon of Park City, Utah is one of the contributing authors. Lisa is an essayist, novelist and mother of four who wrote about how taking a family sabbatical changed her family’s life. In fact, this family adventure is what led them to choose Park City as their new home.

Lisa Merrai Labon

“A family sabbatical will enlighten, inspire and motivate profound and often unexpected changes in your lives. Whether you go for a month or many years, you will discover along the way a renewed definition of success and an enduring bond that will serve your children better than test scores or iPods.”

Jack Canfield

“Sometimes inspirations occur without our even seeming to ask for them. Other times, we have to ask for them then create the quiet space within which to receive them.”

Marci Shimoff

“Most people aren’t in the habit of taking good care of themselves and honor­ing their own needs. Luckily, beginning that process is actually quite simple: you start by becoming aware of those needs. Three times a day, stop what you’re doing and ask yourself, What’s the most loving thing I can do for myself right now? Then pay very close atten­tion to the answer.”

Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood

“What you love and God’s will for you is one and the same. What this means is that the universe doesn’t play tricks. It’s not a mistake that you love the things you do. By consistently choosing in favor of your passions, you will find that you will naturally have the courage you need to live a fulfilled, success­ful life, one step or one huge leap at a time.”

PEARLS OF WISDOM offers great ideas and sound advice from today’s most accomplished self-help authors, combining traditional and new techniques, affirmations, theories, meditations and practices to lead readers from their struggles to a more enlightened and happy life.
